COORDINATE DATA               
All lines are scissored to the following rules:                            
  1) A 'smooth' edge outside the area boundary.                            
  2) Maximum line overlap of 0 fiducials within                            
     the area boundary.

DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL DATA    

DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL CALCULATION                                          
The radar altimeter data was subtracted from the GPS heights to provide    
a digital elevation model which is height above the WGS84 spheroid. Using  
interpolation on the 120 second DMA Geoid model, a correction was computed 
and subtracted from the WGS84 data to convert to height above the geoid.   

DATA RELIABILITY              
This Digital Terrain Model (DTM) has been computed from data generated     
during the course of an airborne geophysical survey flown at a nominal     
spacing of 200m and data has been interpolated between such lines.         
Every effort has been made to make this model a useful general reference.  
No guarantee can be made that this model is a true representation of height
above sea level as it can contain radar altimeter responses from buildings 
and in some instances dense timber. Users of the product should be aware   
of the topographic limitations mapped herewithin. Do not use this DTM for  
navigation purposes.
